Well I always thought I had a servant's heart and I have always wanted to find ways to serve, but serving my parents has shown me that my passion has been minuscule compared to what I have found my heart enjoying for these past several months. My father has had several cancers he has defeated over the last 10 years or so, but a few months ago we found out about his latest one that is life threatening. When we first found out, it sounded like it may only be days or a couple short weeks, then we found out it would be 3 months, but he chose to do all he could using chemo and we've been able to have definite life extension with quality for him to be able to do some of the things he enjoys one last time. Through all of this I have had the opportunity to learn a lot as I attend all the doctor visits, research and coordinate so much for them. I have loved every minute of serving them like no other volunteer job in my life. As a matter of fact, I dropped several other duties so that I could exclusively be on call just for them during this time. It took me a split second to realize I wanted to drop everything, but it has been every moment of these last months that I have been thankful that I dropped everything because my heart, mind and soul is with my parents well-being right now.
I love them so much and am so thankful for the friendship they have given me as an adult. I grieve at the thought of losing either of them and both of them will be devastating when the time comes, but I want to continue to enjoy them with all my heart during this season because that's all I have left to enjoy with them is time.
Ephesians 6:2, Ephesians 5:31
Anybody Can Be A Bride Today
We know a "Bride" as the beautiful woman at a wedding, but if you are confused by the use of the word "Bride" in this blog...this term is used because we should be living a life in constant preparation for His return just as a "Bride" is constantly preparing to get ready on her wedding day (Revelation 21). We do this by having a relationship with Jesus and living a life that is pleasing to Him. The Christian Church eagerly awaits our wedding day with the Lord! If you have any questions or would like to talk about how to become part of the "Bride" and don't know who to ask, you can ask me, I would love to lead you into a relationship with Him. Read John 3:16 if nothing else!
